Pregnant women turn to trained nurse midwives in Georgia
In Georgia more than 1,600 of 73,000 births last year were handled by nurse midwives, a modern continuation of colonial era midwifery. Elizabeth Sturrock of the Department of Human Resources notes nurse midwives are registered nurses with extra obstetric training, handling normal pregnancies and referring complications to obstetricians. The program revived in 1971 at Grady Hospital and Emory, with expansion to Dalton, Douglasville, Valdosta, and Americus. Grady averages about 100 births monthly with a dedicated birthing room at Nas General Hospital.
